I don’t know about your prediction, but universities as a whole will take the hit. The focus on individual grants leaves out the indirect effect on poets and library paint. And then there’s this.

Long live footnote 12.
![12 The majority’s contention that I reject “ ‘pure textualism’ [a]s insufficiently pliable to secure the result [I] seek,” ante, at 10, stems from an unfortunate misunderstanding of the judicial role. Our interpretative task is not to seek our own desired results (whatever they may be). And, indeed, it is precisely because of this solemn duty that, in my view, it is imperative that we interpret statutes consistent with all relevant indicia of what Congress wanted, as best we can ascertain its intent. A methodology that includes consideration of Congress’s aims does exactly that—and no more. By contrast, pure textualism’s refusal to try to understand the text of a statute in the larger context of what Congress sought to achieve turns the interpretive task into a potent weapon for advancing judicial policy preferences. By “finding” answers in ambiguous text, and not bothering to consider whether those answers align with other sources of statutory meaning, pure textualists can easily disguise their own preferences as “textual” inevitabilities. So, really, far from being “insufficiently pliable,” I think pure textualism is incessantly malleable—that’s its primary problem—and, indeed, it is certainly somehow always flexible enough to secure the majority’s desired outcome.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cqxejaccoxwfriqnaps2mmwd/bafkreifqaxmcuhogquhnhca5dmdpiybflh3m2j535ttg5uzqs7tx72js64@jpeg)

Luckily, it looks to me like the clever drafters prohibited all expressive activities at night but excluded from that definition obscenity and other good stuff. They wanted to make campus fun. Makes policy sense.
